The following is an announcement by Dr Rizwhan Suleman MChiro of the Institute of Clinically Applied Hijama Therapy, an organisation providing Hijama Training in UK

What is this course about?

This is an upgrade to our Anatomy Course for Hijama Therapists and is the intensive version of the 6 month study program that will help learners begin to understand the fundamental concepts of human biomechanics from a holistic view point. The program will begin by teaching students to use specialised observational and assessment skills to assess the static posture of a patient.

Students will then be introduced to the concepts of segmental joint assessment, in which they will begin to study and evaluate individual joint function in relation to regional biomechanics and assess range of motion (R.O.M) in both the active and passive forms. As students begin to familiarise themselves with the overall principles of functional joint assessments, aspects of biomechanical evaluation and specialised tests will be introduced to empower students with the advanced capabilities of screening for specific orthopaedic disorders as well as utilising the refined art of motion palpation, a skill previously reserved only for the hands of specialist chiropractors and osteopaths.

In addition to this the course will evaluate the use of hijama therapy and its various applications to the topics studied in each session giving students the unique ability to integrate the practice of hijama into the management of biomechanical disorders and specific orthopaedic conditions.

This is a unique opportunity to get hands on and refine your practical skills further through the integration of human biomechanics and functional correction techniques.

Who is this course for?

This course is for hijama therapists and manual practitioners who wish to develop their skills further and gain a better insight in to functional biomechanics and orthopaedic disorders.
